Picked mine up on Saturday. It’s cool in pics, but it’s incredible in person.

You can really tell it sits higher than a non XR

Looks amazing, I kinda regret ordering it in white...but the Florida sun made me!

A friend of mine was lucky enough to find a GeckoX 2 weeks ago on a dealers lot so he traded in his month old 2dr JL Rubi in on it. Was a pretty bare bone Rubi other the the X package but his justification was it would have cost him more to put new wheels, tires and a lift on the 2 dr then what it cost him to step up to the X.

This is where my head is at also, I ordered 11/4. I'm expecting February/March. My dealer says January, so there's that lol

I am excited after seeing pictures of XR posted here, I can just imagine in person must be insane! Sort of what the Rubicon should've been from the beginning.
After contacting a couple different dealers before placing my order seems like 12 weeks was the common response. That is 12 weeks from 2022 production start on Dec 6 of course. I’m hoping it’s accurate. Reading the forum comments would have one believe automatic unlimited Rubicons are seeing faster turn around for whatever reason?

What I ordered seems to be everything that slows the order down. Cold weather package, LED lights Xtreme Recon. Lol.

It absolutely sits higher than a normal JLUR. Tomorrow I will have photos of it next to a diesel Rubicon with the Mopar lift.

I finally saw another XR yesterday driving around. They actually pulled up at a light next to me. Didn't expect to see another one so soon after getting mine almost a month ago. It really looks nice. :)

Here is my XR next to a Diesel with the Mopar Lift on the same BFG KO2's 315/70/R17 tires. I was pretty impressed to see how similar they were in stance/height. The Diesel is definitely a little taller (as expected) by about 3/4 to an inch. Not the best photos for comparison, but gives everyone an idea.

the diesel has the stock 33’s? I think the Moparlift is nice, and maybe if I convince myself to upgrade to 37’s I will do it…but I’m loving the XR set up. And it’s all stock and covered by warranty…I haven’t had that in a while lol

No, both Jeeps have 35”s (315’s a little smaller than true 35”)

Do people feel with XR the jeep can still benefit from replacing with a longer LCA? I saw someone mentioned that the XR still uses the same LCA as a regular Rubicon. And https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/mopar-lca-swap.22474/ mentioned the longer LCA improved the ride noticeably.
I feel like the XR Jeeps may benefit even MORE than a regular Rubicon due to the increased lift over a standard Rubicon. I have the LCA’s in had right now and I’m just waiting for the Jeep to come in to replace them.
